Best foot forward

Aerndis felt excitement shiver down her spine in anticipation. Energy was building in her hind legs, ready to break loose. She grinned as he spoke of the birds thin necks being a weak point. She was right. She finally felt like she was growing more intuitive in her hunting. Acere crept forward and she followed suit, slinking right up to the end of the water, as close as she dared to get and ten they were off. Both wolves exploded from cover, straight for the birds. They scrambled and fluttered, bumping into each other as they tried to take off. Aerndis leapt, seeking to get as close as she could before she hit water.

She crashed into the water and leapt again, eyes locked on her target. Just as the bird leapt into the air she sprang, catching one of it's long skinny legs and shaking her head violently til the leg broke. The creature cried out as she released it, but only for a second before her jaws were around it's neck. They both hit the water, thrashing until she finally heard a sickening snap and the creature went limp. Yes! She'd done it! Dropping her kill she looked up to see how Acere had done.
